Item Description
Snake's Revenge is the Metal Gear sequel that helped create a better-known one. Konami's Kobe team, including Castlevania III veterans such as lead programmer Hitoshi Akamatsu, built it in 1990 as a follow-up to the NES Metal Gear for players in North America and Europe. Series creator Hideo Kojima was not involved; by his own account, one of the game's developers told him about the project and encouraged him to make a true sequel of his own, which became Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake on the MSX2. Snake's Revenge, meanwhile, never received a Famicom release in Japan.
Three years after the first mission, FOXHOUND learns that a hostile nation may have acquired the Metal Gear plans. Solid Snake leads Operation 747 with two teammates, infiltration expert John Turner and weapons specialist Nick Myer, and later works with an agent named Jennifer inside the enemy base. The story moves through a jungle, a warehouse, a cargo ship and a train before building to a final confrontation with a very familiar enemy, and it has its share of twists for a 1990 cartridge.
The core is classic Metal Gear stealth. You sneak past guards and cameras from an overhead view, and when you are spotted the game shifts into an alert phase; a single exclamation point means you can still slip away to the next screen, two means trouble. Snake starts with a knife and a handgun, punching guards can shake loose ammo or rations, and rescuing hostages or interrogating officers with truth gas raises your rank toward six stars, increasing your health and carrying capacity. Your transceiver now dials your teammates directly and doubles as a radar. The big addition is a series of side-view sections played like Konami's Rush'n Attack, where Snake walks, jumps and crawls on his stomach, sometimes underwater with oxygen tanks keeping him alive.
Kojima later said he enjoyed it and found it faithful to the Metal Gear concept, and the game was included in Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 1. As an NES cartridge it is a fascinating alternate branch of the saga, the road the series might have taken, and a solid stealth-action adventure in its own right.

About the game
Snake's Revenge is a stealth action-adventure game developed by Konami for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Serving as a standalone sequel to Metal Gear, it was released in North America and the PAL region, capitalising on the international success of the NES version. Notably, this instalment was created without the involvement of series creator Hideo Kojima. Meanwhile, Kojima went on to develop a separate sequel for the MSX2 titled Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, which debuted later in the same year in Japan.
